"I, I... I waited outside the airport for a long time, but I didn't see her come out, and I couldn't get through to her on the phone." The assistant said, "I've already told her agent, and she asked me to call you and ask."
The more she spoke, the more frightened she became. She even shuddered and couldn't help asking Xiang Wanning, "What should we do? Could Sister Zhinian have been kidnapped by terrorists? This is how it's played out in TV dramas, where someone from a wealthy family seeks revenge and holds a wealthy businessman's daughter hostage or something..."
Xiang Wanning: ...
She didn't know what to complain about.
But Xiang Wanning quickly grasped the key point of her words and questioned it in her heart: Xiang Zhinian would be kidnapped? This is not a fantasy! She frowned, thinking that there are more and more scam calls these days.
"Now that you've said that, will you call me again and say that Xiang Zhinian is in your hands and ask for money to redeem him?" Xiang Wanning asked, "I don't have that much money. You've got the wrong person."
"Really not!" The assistant was about to cry, and then he realized that he hadn't explained himself clearly. He hurriedly explained the whole story, and then said: "Now the people from the "Remembering Linglong" crew are urging Sister Zhi Nian to join the crew. I couldn't get through to Sister Zhi Nian on the phone, but she booked a plane ticket for me before, and that flight has already arrived."
"I went to ask the staff again, and they said that Sister Chinen didn't get on the plane at all! But I asked the housekeeper, and he said that Sister Chinen left on time." The assistant was extremely nervous, fearing that Chinen would be in danger, and his words were a bit confusing: "But Sister Chinen would not miss an appointment for no reason. Sometimes she changed her flight, and I couldn't find out which plane she took. I was afraid of missing her, so I had to wait here... But I still couldn't find her, so I had to call Sister Wan Ning to ask."
At this point, the assistant choked up.
Seeing the other party's sincerity, Xiang Wanning no longer doubted the authenticity of the call.
She comforted her assistant and said to her, "Why are you in such a hurry? Xiang Zhinian is so capable, you have to believe her, she will definitely not have any accidents!"
In her heart, she just felt that Xiang Zhinian might have other things to do, and did not think that she was kidnapped.
Xiang Wanning asked her assistant to go back to the crew first, calm the director down, discuss with the director, and keep the matter secret for the time being.
Otherwise, considering Xiang Zhinian's fame, if this kind of thing was exposed by the crew, there would definitely be people on the Internet stirring up inflammatory and false remarks to incite fans, and I'm afraid that it would cause chaos everywhere.
Even if Xiang Zhinian was really kidnapped, the louder the news spread, the more disadvantageous it would be for her.
After telling her assistant all this and repeatedly emphasizing the need to guard against the situation, Xiang Wanning hung up the phone. She first told the studio not to call the police, and then called Mo Yin.
She first had to know if their family had any enemies, and if Xiang Zhinian was kidnapped, who was most likely to have kidnapped her.
Before Xiang Wanning could organize her words, the phone was quickly connected, and Mo Yin's gentle voice came from the other end: "What's the matter, baby?"
Xiang Wanning was still not used to such a name, and her ears felt a little hot.
Then, she heard nervous questions and the rubbing sounds of mahjong tiles coming from the phone: "What happened? - Three of a kind, a gang!"
"Mom, you're cheating! You've already hit this one!" This was Xiang Chisong's voice.
"That's right." This is what Xiang Tingye agreed.
"Madam's card skills are as superb as ever!" This was the butler's compliment.
Xiang Wanning: ...
Huh? Is your president really not going to work?
The question "How are your cards?" was about to come out of her mouth, but Xiang Wan Ning quickly realized that now was not a good time to reminisce about the past, so she asked first, "Does our family have any enemies?"
"Enemy?" Mo Yin seemed to be stunned for a moment. She put down the cards, rubbed her chin, and after thinking carefully, she sighed and said, "We have a lot of enemies. I can't count them all at once. What's wrong?"
Xiang Wanning: ...
She now thinks Xiang Zhinian must have been kidnapped by her enemies.
Xiang Wanning then briefly relayed what the assistant had just said, and then she heard Mo Yin's voice suddenly become louder, as if it was going to pierce her eardrums: "What? You said Chinen is missing?! Maybe she was kidnapped?!"
There was suddenly a buzz of discussion on the other end of the line, as well as the sound of cards clattering against each other. It seemed that the people who had been happily playing mahjong before were so angry after hearing the news that they pushed the table over.
Xiang Wanning held the phone a little further away and could still hear Mo Yin's roar from the other side:
"It must have been done by those people from Country Z! It seems we didn't hit them lightly yesterday!"
Then came Xiang Chisong's voice: "A bunch of beasts! Wait for me to check! I'll beat them to pieces once I find out!"
There was also Xiang Tingye's flattering voice: "We, the Xiang family, are afraid of those old antiques? So what if they are nobles of Country Z? Their empire has long been destroyed! If they are nobles, they should all be buried in the ground. Why are they pretending to be zombies?!"
Xiang Wanning was stunned by the powerful attack force for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "What nobles from Country Z?"
Mo Yin then briefly told her what happened yesterday.
Xiang Zhinian’s biological father?
Xiang Wanning opened her eyes wide at once, flipping through the script without listening, wondering: That's not right! It's not their turn to appear yet!
She felt that the script in her mind had become a little heavy because of her idea, and it made her head ache. She had a vague premonition in her heart: the development of the plot had deviated from the script given to her by the system. If it continued like this, it seemed that it would lead to an ending that she could not expect but found difficult to accept.
Xiang Wanning's heart suddenly stopped for a second. Her breathing became rapid and shallow. It felt like a huge rock was pressing on her heart, and she gradually felt suffocated.
Oh my God, she thought in shock, could it be that my character setting includes a terminal illness?
After a long while, Xiang Wanning came back to her senses and frowned again: But in the script, Xiang Zhinian's biological parents were very kind to her? How could they hire someone to kidnap her?
She thought of the description of his biological parents and seven brothers in the script, which can be simply summarized as: What? The only sister in the family? Spoil her! Spoil her to death! Xiang Wanning wanted to ask them if Xiang Zhinian had gone to other places without telling them in advance, but she thought about it again: She had been with Xiang Zhinian for so long, and although she felt that she understood Xiang Zhinian, she certainly didn't understand her as well as her family who had lived with her for 20 years.
Since they all said that it was done by that group of people from Country Z, then it must have been done by that group of people. Xiang Zhinian was most likely taken away by them!
Xiang Wanning felt a little relieved.
After all, knowing Xiang Zhinian's whereabouts and knowing that she was taken back by the duke, Xiang Wanning knew that she would not be harmed.
Maybe there was some misunderstanding? She thought so. After all, the script couldn't be wrong.
Xiang Wanning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief because she had just learned from Mo Yin that Xiang Zhinian didn't want to return to his ancestral home yesterday. The annoyance that seemed to be overwhelming her just now seemed to have dissipated a lot.
As long as Xiang Zhinian doesn't go back early, it shouldn't be considered a violation of the script if he plays freely in places not mentioned in the plot.
It’s like the character given to Xiang Wanning. She did maintain it in front of the plot and important characters mentioned in the script, but if others don’t think so, then it has nothing to do with her.
...Isn't this also considered a bug in the script?
Just as she was thinking about how to contact Xiang Zhinian, she suddenly heard a cry from the other side: "Damn it, they are not going to attack Wan Ning again?!"
Xiang Wanning let out an "ah", and the next second, she heard Xiang Tingye say, "I've found her a dozen bodyguards, who will be there to protect her!"
“No thanks.” She declined the other party’s kindness: “Yu Quezhou arranged for us to experience the student life for a week. I was either in school or on the crew. They won’t do anything to me.”
Now is not the time for you to take action.
She hasn't entered the nursing home yet.
Xiang Wanning didn't take it seriously and comforted them instead: "It's okay, Xiang Zhinian is so powerful, who can get away with it?"
Xiang Wanning believed in her ability even more than Xiang Zhinian.
She thought about the script and said vaguely, "Besides, the other party is her biological father. How could he hurt her?"
As if she felt that what she said was not credible, Xiang Wanning thought for a moment and dragged Xiang Chisong in: "Besides, Brother Chisong is so capable, he will definitely be able to find Xiang Zhinian's whereabouts as soon as possible! Then we can take her back!"
As if she felt that the tone of this sentence was not appropriate, Xiang Wanning paused and added: "Maybe when we wake up tomorrow, Xiang Zhinian will be back? Then we don't have to go looking for her!"
After successfully comforting her family and asking them to find a way to keep the secret from the outside world, Xiang Wanning was still uneasy for some reason.
Two little people seemed to appear in Xiang Wanning's mind:
A little man with devil wings smiled sinisterly and said: What are you worried about? She is the heroine! Do you want to meddle in the affairs between father and daughter? Besides, she can always turn danger into safety no matter what happens. You should worry more about your own life!
A little man with an angel's halo said in a worried tone: "But Xiang Zhinian has always been very good to you. No matter what, you still have to contact Xiang Zhinian first, right? What if she needs your help?"
The devil made a vomiting expression: Come on, what can you do? Don't hold Xiang Zhinian back! The angel threw flowers at her: No matter what, we have to make sure we have a clear conscience! Okay...
After a fierce battle between the two villains, the angel villain finally beat the devil villain dizzy and dazed. When he won, Xiang Wanning first sent a text message to Yu Quezhou.
Then she thought about it, thinking about the script's description of what happened when Chinen clicked on the dark web, and then she opened the hidden browser, her fingers flying, and strings of code flashed by.
The colorful letters were reflected in Xiang Wanning's eyes, and she thought to herself: I have done a lot of tasks after all. Although I can't be compared with Xiang Zhinian and create worlds with code, it is not a problem to simply copy the existing code!
But I seem to have remembered a few letters wrong... It shouldn't be a big problem, right? The program is running well, isn't it? Just when Xiang Wanning was feeling smug, a web page suddenly popped up the next second.
——A cheap little movie with yellow lights flashing around it came into her sight.
Xiang Wanning was so scared that she threw her phone directly at the office door.
I don’t know if it was because I touched the volume button when I rolled over, but suddenly an ambiguous voice sounded abruptly, making the two people who were arguing inside suddenly silent.
Xiang Wanning: ...
Is it too late to jump off the balcony now ?
Because of Chen Yanli's excessive enthusiasm, Yu Quezhou was detained by the other party and forced to stay with him for a day. Finally, he was sent away by Ning Weiyan with a sneer on the next morning.
Even though he was "kicked out" by Ning Weiyan, it still didn't affect Shen Yanli's good mood.
This is the result of Xiang Zhinian's hard work! The guy that Yu Quezhou temporarily named "system" can communicate with them without obstacles, and his intelligence is far superior to the artificial intelligence on the market. He can even imagine how the world will be shocked when the system is truly released! His heart was surging, and when he heard Yu Quezhou's puzzled question "Why are you so happy", he said happily: "Of course I am happy, this is the achievement of my fiancée!"
"You care more about this than she does." Yu Quezhou teased, "Aren't you afraid that she will dump you?"
"Don't be afraid. It's hard to find someone smarter than her in this world." Chen Yanli shook his head and said seriously, "Love is not a business where you need to fight to the death. I think I have achieved a lot now. I can provide her with good material conditions. Isn't it the same as walking side by side with her?"
He said proudly: "I invested in that laboratory."
Yu Quezhou sneered: "Before she knew about the script, she wanted to break up with you."
"So what? She chose me firmly in the end even though she knew there was a script. Doesn't that prove our relationship?" Chen Yanli opened the car door: "Admit it, you are just jealous of me. After all, who would like a smiling tiger like you?"
"Oh——" As if remembering something, Chen Yanli continued to mock, "Uncle wanted to arrange a blind date for you before, but you rejected him. Yu Quezhou, you are a good candidate for a lonely life!"
Yu Quezhou: ...
He interrupted the other person coldly and changed the subject: "So what if you invested in the lab? You, as a financial sponsor, are not popular among researchers at all."
At this point, he had a hunch that something was wrong, so he reminded the other party: "I don't have a good feeling about Ning Weiyan. When the time comes, ask Xiang Zhinian about his background."
"If it can be replaced, it's better to replace it."
After saying that, Yu Quezhou fastened his seat belt in the passenger seat and closed the car door. Suddenly, a message alert sounded from his cell phone.
He clicked on it and saw that it was a message from Xiang Wanning on WeChat.
